Chapter 118: Right and Wrong
Zhu Zhanyan never underestimated anyone, because he always felt that there was no real fool in this world, and even if there was, it would not be underestimated with the blessing of power, money and connections.
If you think of people as fools, you are actually the biggest fools.
But this time, he still underestimated.
forced people by setting fire to the mountain, and reached his own point, Zhu Zhanyan didn't remember that there was such a person in history.
Therefore, Zhu Zhanyan felt that it would take about a month before and after, either Chen Jikuo jumped out by himself, or he was twisted out by the chiefs who couldn't stand it.
However, he underestimated the greed of human nature and underestimated Chen Jikuo's ambition for power.
From the time he began to show his head and emerge to the present, there has never been a promised thing that has not been done, and it is the first time for Jiaozhi here.
"Your Royal Highness, don't we send someone into the mountain to talk to them?" Looking at Zhu Zhanyan, who was getting ready to go, Mu Sheng was a little anxious.
It's been more than a month, but Chen Jikuo's side hasn't moved for a long time, which makes Zhu Zhanyan unbearable, and he is ready to repeat his old tricks and do it again.
But Mu Sheng was a little panicked.
"Your Royal Highness, I think there is our previous action, this time we will send people into the mountain, those chiefs should agree to talk about it."
"We don't have to do things absolutely, otherwise we will always leave some bad reputation, you don't care about it now, but this history is like iron, what about the future?"
Zhu Zhanyan's movements stopped, and he looked at Mu Sheng with an inexplicable expression.
After a while, Zhu Zhanyan reached into his arms, and it took a lot of effort to take out the gold medal letter and hand it to Mu Sheng.
"You're coming, then?"
……
The scene was awkward for a moment.
Although Zhu Zhanyan didn't say it, judging from his action of taking out all the gold medal letters......
Mu Sheng knew that if he took it, then he wouldn't want to ask Zhu Zhanyan to solve the problem in the future, no matter what problems arose in the future, he would have to fight it himself.
He didn't have that confidence.
"Your Royal Highness, you are laughing......" Mu Sheng smiled awkwardly.
In fact, Mu Sheng also knew that those chiefs would not agree to Daming's request at all, because if they agreed, they would lose at least half of it in the future, and this was still under the premise that they deceived their superiors and subordinates and privately raised taxes to enrich their own pockets.
Now they are nominally under the name of Chen Jikuo, but in fact they are self-governing, and their income is not just the extra part of the tax system......
There is no need to pay to the imperial court, all taxes are their own!
Who would give away the money in their pockets? Don't be funny!
However, Mu Sheng's idea is not unreasonable, because he intends to use procrastination.
Daming is not afraid of dragging, and Jiaozhi is afraid, because since Zhu Zhan set fire to the mountain, this matter is equivalent to a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the chief, Chen Jikuo and others.
If it drags on for three years and five years, Daming can win, and there is no need to even spend a single soldier.
The only drawback is that Mu Sheng has no confidence to win.
"Second Uncle Mu, I've never been an unreasonable person." Zhu Zhanyan tidied up the saddle and turned over on the horse, but did not set off immediately, but looked at Mu Sheng below and said.
"If you have a more suitable and efficient way, then I will be happy to see it come to pass, and abdicate to make way for Xian."
"After all, I came to Yunnan to serve the domain, not to fight."
"If I just want to fight, I have a chance when I want to fight."
"But then again, if you don't have the means, or are not as efficient as mine, then you don't speak, or you are responsible for the end result, for better or for worse."
"Yes......" Mu Sheng lowered his head in shame.
Is he afraid that Zhu Zhanyan will steal credit? Actually, no, he is afraid of responsibility.
In fact, I also want to know that when the problem of Jiaozhi is solved, there will definitely be people who will rehash the old accounts, and those civil servants will undoubtedly bear the brunt.
Mu Sheng is still different from Zhu Zhanyan, he is afraid that the reputation of the Mu family will be ruined by him, so he will persuade Zhu Zhanyan to choose a relatively peaceful method, but the effect is correspondingly low.
This is similar to the thinking of most officials in the DPRK and China: do not seek merit, but seek no fault.
Glancing at Mu Sheng, Zhu Zhanyan didn't say anything more, directly pulled the reins, and quickly left the camp.
Zhu Ling, Zhu Ping and other guards followed, and then the 3,000 soldiers who followed Zhu Zhan for the first time to set fire to the mountain.
Now they no longer have fear or retreat in their eyes when they look at Zhu Zhanyan, and some are just fanatical and excited.
It's not that Mu Sheng can't do it, but the soldiers don't have so many fancy intestines, and what they think is usually very simple.
Compared with Mu Sheng, Zhu Zhanyan is the person they prefer to follow.
——
Ying Tianfu, Tianjie Temple.
Zhu Di came to this Heavenly Temple again, wearing a dragon suit, sitting on a futon and knocking on a wooden fish.
"Your Majesty, you are doing useless work by knocking on the wooden fish here."
Next to Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao, who was dressed in black, was holding a Buddhist scripture in one hand and a Qianzhi in the other, and the sound of a regular wooden fish that could make people feel peaceful slowly floated out in front of him.
Zhu Di's hand paused, and his mood was completely disrupted.
Perhaps, his heart was originally chaotic.
"Old monk." was already in turmoil, Zhu Di simply threw Qianzhi aside, turned his head and stared at Yao Guangxiao.
"Did you say I did something wrong?"
"You did nothing wrong." Yao Guangxiao didn't turn his head, he didn't even open his eyes, but he answered very quickly.
Basically, as soon as Zhu Di's question was asked, Yao Guangxiao immediately gave the answer.
"Then why did things turn out the way they were?" Zhu Di then asked.
"That's because you're doing it wrong."
……
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
In fact, Zhu Di already vaguely understood in his heart, or it should be said that the answer was already in his heart, but he didn't want to face it.
It seemed that he was a little unwilling, and he seemed to want to get to the bottom of it, Zhu Di asked again after being silent for a long time.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Your Majesty." The Qianzhi in Yao Guangxiao's hand stopped, and the sound of the wooden fish also stopped abruptly.
"You just called yourself 'I', which means that you asked this question as the emperor, and if you ask so, there is naturally no problem for the poor monk to answer like this."
"What if it's in any other capacity?" The uneasiness in Zhu Di's heart became stronger and stronger, but he still did not give up.
"That's the second answer given by the poor monk just now." Yao Guangxiao closed his eyes, and the Buddhist beads in his hand slowly rotated with the movements of his hands.
Zhu Di didn't ask any more questions, nor did he speak again, but just sighed deeply.
How could he not know that he had done something wrong?
In fact, he not only knew that he was wrong, but also knew that the self who stood in the perspective of family affection was wrong, and even ......
The self who stood in the emperor's perspective was also wrong.
